Thoughts on Clara Bella?

in Baby Names
We still havent' decided on a name. We keep changing it so many times. Clara was a name I liked from the beginning. Thoughts? We have a dd named Olivia. I am looking for a name with no nicknames. TIA

    I do like the name Clara, but Clarabelle is a cow from the Disney History

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarabelle_Cow

    But, then again, my daughter's name is the same as the Borden Cow (Elsie) - so obviously it did not weigh too heavy on my choice

    I like Clara ok, but I like Claire a lot more if that would be an option? I think Claire and Olivia would sound lovely together! Good luck on whatever you decide. :)

    Sorry, but I am not a fan.  I prefer Claire over Clara.  I also don't like names where the FN and MN have rhyming sounds.

    I first thought of Clara Belle cow from Disney. Other than that, I love Clara, HATE Bella.

    I love Clara!!! Honestly, I hate Bella - it makes me wonder of the mother was super obsessed with Twilight. Also, I hate how the two names sound together.

    I would say No to Clara Bella together.

    I don't like the two together (or Bella at all). Even if it didn't have the Disney connection, the rhyming is too much, IMO.

    Those two names together is a little much, IMO.

    I love Clara.  No sure if the combo is my top choice, but it reminds me of Arabella, so I like it :)

    Claire would be nice. I don't like Bella at all for a fn, mn, anything. Clara is just ok IMO. Together they sound awful though.

    I like Clara (strongly prefer it to the yawn-worthy Claire). 

    But the combination doesn't work.

    Clara is ok, I like Claire a lot better. 

    Clara Bella sounds like a cheesy italian restaurant name to me.  I really dislike that name combo.

    My first thought when I saw the name was Clarabell, the cow on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Not really a fan of Clara, and Bella is so popular.

    Love the name Clara! It's actually my sister's name:) I think it's such a classy , old fashioned sounding name. I don't care for it w/ Bella in the least. My sister's middle name is Maya if that helps. I agree w/ the po who said Claire is a snooze.

    I love Clara and think it's much more original than Claire, but hate Clara Bella. Way too sing songy and over the top IMO.

    I love Clara! One of my very favorites.

    Clarabelle is a cow.

    I think Clara sounds best with a middle name that is not two syllables ending in an A

    I like the name Clara (it's actually on my list too, is a family name), but would not go with Bella as a middle name.

    I much prefer Claire to Clara and also using 2 names with A at the end sounds really odd to me
